    Row Spancing

    Klause, what did you learn on your row spacing trial? Now that I'm set up for top dressing Im considering going to a disc unit on 7.5" for cereals and peas. What's other peoples experience with that?

        The only thing about a narrower spacing is that your crop canopies and if it's wet you may be buying more spray than expected and it may not reach where you want it. JMHO.

          Buy 80 -100 plus feet on 15-18 inch spacing. Only way to go, if the drill is still too big pull every third or fourth shank till you can pull it. Don't you know that's the new way. Keep widening those shank spacings until the biggest team of horses can pull it. We'll build it as big as your ego. Come up with every plausible excuse in the book to justify wider row spacings. To hell with agronomy, bragging rights mean more.....

                  Last thing I would do is narrow up pulse spacing In peas or lentils.. Not a smart idea in my opinion

                    I'm not afraid on peas. Lentils I would never tighten up.
